    I am a little confused,,a friend who has 4 trucks had a driver charged in Connecticut about a month ago for "Driver uses or is in possession of drugs"

    The driver was given a ticket and let go..Don't know what kind of drug, maybe pot.

    I thought that a conviction of this a driver would loose his CDL for at least one year. I do not see any Federal Regs on this,,I thought that it was a violation that automatically required a CDL disqualification,
